This matters... First choice
If I am not your first choice, please don’t waste my time. Don’t chase me if I’m not the one you truly want to be with. Don’t play games. Don’t love me in halves. If I am not your first choice, don’t encourage me to share myself with you. Don’t let me open up to you about my past, my childhood, my fears. Don’t let me reveal my soul to you if you’re not ready to nurture it. Don’t ask for a place in my heart if you’re not planning on staying there. Don’t awaken my love if you’re not ready to love me. Don’t hold me if you’ll easily let me go. If I am not your first choice, don’t stop me from finding the one who would put me first. Don’t lie to me and tell me that I’m the only one when you’re still juggling options. It is okay to not know what you want, but please, if that is the case — just let me go. If I am not your first choice, please leave. Leave and don’t disturb my peace. Leave instead of half-loving me. Leave instead of lying to me. Leave because I don’t need this kind of darkene...
